My guess: Perhaps this is a bug, or alternatively, a known issue that won't 
be addressed because to do so would be a breaking change.

There is an old demo of Clojure given by Rich where MapEntry's were printed 
using some sort of un-readable notation #<:foo 5>. But clearly MapEntry's 
have been revised to act a lot like 2-element vectors.

user=> (rseq (first (mapv identity {:foo 5})))

(5 :foo)

user=> (conj (first (mapv identity {:foo 5})) :x)

[:foo 5 :x]

user=> (assoc (first (mapv identity {:foo 5})) 1 7)

[:foo 7]

user=> (subvec (first (mapv identity {:foo 5})) 0 1)

[:foo]


FWIW, ClojureScript behaves in your expected way:


(empty (first (mapv identity {:foo 5})))

=> []
